NEW YORK, NY.- Known for historic framing projects such as Washington Crossing the Delaware at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and framing 28 paintings for The White House, Eli Wilner & Company has recently announced an expansion of their studio offerings to include contemporary framing. Contemporary frames are now also included among the many categories of projects that are eligible for Wilner's frame funding program that covers a portion of the costs of framing projects for cultural and historic institutions.

Applying their unmatched workmanship to contemporary frames, the Wilner artisans are able to create bespoke forms, colors and surfaces. Large scale contemporary frames are a particular specialty. Wilner's decades of experience with large works of art were recently applied to the framing of 9-foot paintings by George Condo and KAWS at the Barclay Center. Both of these large paintings required carefully choreographed onsite fittings, which were completed in both cases inside the finely appointed interiors where they are now being exhibited.

Contemporary frames are the latest addition to Wilner's existing white-glove offerings, which include antique frames, frame restoration, historically accurate replica frames, framing of drawings and photography, artwork installation, plexiglass vitrines, sculpture pedestals, artwork storage, painting restoration services, fitting/unfitting, and a Manhattan gallery space that is available for exclusive viewings.

Eli Wilner & Company has completed over 15,000 framing projects for private collectors, museums, and institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and The White House. Wilner was honored by the Historic Charleston Foundation with the Samuel Gaillard Stoney Conservation Craftsmanship Award, for their work in historic picture frame conservation. Earlier this year Eli Wilner was presented with an Iris Award for Outstanding Dealer of the Year by the Bard Graduate Center in New York City.
